Pikolinos Benissa is an amazingly comfortable sandal. I'm normally a size 38 but I had to return them for a size 39. I highly recommend them. My only complain is that I received one pair of sandals made in China and another pair made in Spain. The sandals made in China are of inferior quality. The leather was uncomfortable and had an unpleasant smell, so I kept the sandals made in Spain. I only purchase leather shoes, so the quality matters to me.

I have been coveting these shoes for months. I finally ordered them and I'm utterly confused. Did I get a pair that had the arches reversed?! Because that's what it feels like. The shoes arch on the outside edge of my feet. Excruciating. I've never experienced this. Returning!

Out of the box. GORGEOUS, slipped it on and felt a little snug..but wore them around the house for 4 hours..was out and about this morning with them. THEY ARE AWESOME! Looks great with dressy jeans, plus will be great for summer with dresses and skirts and on into Fall with tights. The price was up there but I think well worth it. The leather with the piercing in it makes them ultra comfortable. I am an musician/artisan who refuses to act her age, more her shoe size which is 10. I am so glad that I spent the money on these, cause they will be very practical...but still have the cute factor with the wedge heel versus the stiletto, which is past.

The leather is soft and the Brandy color is much prettier is person, a little lighter, more like caramel. The yellow backstrap is not obviously a different color either. I do not agree with other reviewers who think these shoes run small. I normally wear a 7 in heels and wedges, and I should have ordered the 37, not the 38. For the price, I think the quality is crap. The sole of the shoe is a light-weight rubber with no support. For some, this may be a positive, but for me this is a negative. The micromuscles in my feet become fatigued quickly when I don't wear firm, supportive soled-shoes with nylon shank (i.e., Dankso, Abeo).

I love Pikolinos, but I did not like this particular shoe. I'm normally an 8 1/2 or 9, or a 39 or 40. I was a 40 in this shoe. The leather is very soft, and the footbed is very cushioned. However, there is a weird lump on the outside of the arch. It felt like the arch support was on the wrong side of the shoe. It was very uncomfortable to me.
